Life under the thinking tree

About me

To my corner of the blog world. My name is Elin and I’m really thrilled you are here.

I’m a former Swimming pro, after getting nerve damage in my jaw I started coaching instead. After a few years of doing this, I became and librarian. This was the best job in the world and I loved it.

I been all ifferent kind of librarians but my favorite has and will Always be a school librarian. Today I work as a middle school librarian. Because of my job and my love for books I have decided to change my blog into a book reviewing blog. I will vent on books I absolutly hated and books i love more than anything and cant recommend enough.

I will also be making honest Reviews from books I recive from Edelweiss+ and the publichers. E-book arcs in exchange for an honest Review. I will not be taking any deals on making positive Reviews to boost anyones sales. Honesty is the way to go all the way.

I read alot of Childrens book and Young Adult fiction. But I also love horror, thrillers, comics and manga. I’m an all-reader really.

Thank you so much 🙂 What a lovely comment of you 😀 And how fun that you have studied swedish 😀 I myself know around 15 languages. Im dyslexic so my spelling is sometimes off, but I do understand around 15 🙂 XD Where are you from? 😀

Oh wow, 15 languages, that’s awesome! I like to call myself a polyglot, but I definitely don’t know that many, at least not fluently and not at this point. I only speak Polish and Welsh besides English and Swedish. I am from Poland. What languages do you know? 🙂

I love your thinking hairdo. I used to have a silly hat and when I wore it, my husband was not allowed to disturb me no matter what he thought I was not doing. (sitting still and looking at something is not always “nothing”)

Thank you so much for visiting my little space of Blog Universe! I am so happy you did, because I discovered yours! I also love 50s style dresses.
I am so sorry that you are currently out of sorts… I hope your Dad gets better quickly and that England spits that lovely boy of yours back to Sweden soon. As for teal, brown and orange? Yes please 🙂

Hey Elin, thanks for liking my post. I love your vintage style. Your cat’s adorable, by the way. He should feature in your next sewing project. You could tweak the classic poodle skirt and make it a custom Sherlock Holmes skirt.

I like your site and yes sewing is fun! I sewed my first Simplicity dress in 1972. It was sleeveless, had a scoop neckline, two darts in the front and back, and a long zipper in the back. Cost all of $5.00 to make. Fast forward: March 2018 while shopping with two of my sisters, I saw the same exact dress style on a mannequin. The cost… $175.00. Whoa horsey! When I told my sisters about my sewing the same dress, they chuckled. I’ve also taken sewing design classes and designed a few outfits from scratch, but I no longer sew because it’s a little on the pricey side.

Thank you 🙂 I will give it a thought! I only make clothes and making clothes for others could be difficult with deadlines and a normal job etc. But maybe I could do other things and sell like hats etc ^^

Thanks for connecting to my blog! You live in Sweden, but are you a Swede? Love to see more of your work of costumes. I love certain movies, just for the old costumes! In the past I sewed much more, but now it’s for curtains and repairing things. Happy belated New Year:)
